Instructions for a lovely looking baby set consisting of a round neck cardigan, beanie hat and booties.  This set is suitable for both baby boys and girls, with the buttonholes worked on both sides of the cardigan.  Once you know the gender of the baby, just sew the unwanted buttonholes up and sew the buttons over the top.

This is also a good pattern for stash busting if you have a couple of odd 100g balls that you can use together.

All my patterns are tested by independent knitters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error-free.
